A cloud of tan dust from Saudi Arabia blows over the Red Sea
October 13, 2010 - A cloud of tan dust from Saudi Arabia blows over the Red Sea just south of the Sinai Peninsula and the Nile Delta. Smoke plumes from fires can be seen sweeping to the northwest, leaving gray tendrils across the Mediterranean Sea. To the north, a wide ribbon of thin haze overlays the deep blue water of the Mediterranean. It is possible that smoke from the fires may contribute to this haze, but the primary source is most likely dust blowing north and east from the deserts of Egypt, which lie to the west. A phytoplankton bloom brings milky swirls of turquoise blue and peacock green to the waters just off the northern Egyptian coast

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene where nature's elements collide. Taken on October 13,2010, the image showcases a cloud of tan dust originating from Saudi Arabia as it sweeps over the Red Sea, just south of the Sinai Peninsula and Nile Delta. The vastness of this natural phenomenon is evident as smoke plumes from distant fires intertwine with the dust, leaving gray tendrils across the Mediterranean Sea. To the north, a wide ribbon of thin haze overlays the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean. While smoke from nearby fires may contribute to this hazy appearance, it is primarily caused by dust blowing north and east from Egypt's deserts located to its west. This geographical interplay creates an ethereal atmosphere that captivates viewers. Adding further intrigue to this already stunning composition is a phytoplankton bloom near Egypt's northern coast. These tiny organisms bring swirls of milky turquoise blue and peacock green hues to the water's surface, contrasting beautifully against their dusty backdrop. In this satellite view photograph devoid of human presence, we witness how physical geography shapes our planet's landscapes in extraordinary ways. From land features like deltas and peninsulas to bodies of water such as seas and rivers – every element plays its part in creating these awe-inspiring scenes that remind us of Earth's immense beauty.
